Large-Scale, Quantum Communication Networks Are Within Reach

Veering from the path of their counterparts at other institutions, researchers from the Max Planck Institute in Germany say they’ve found an easier path toward large-scale, secure communication networks.

They demonstrated that it’s possible to distribute quantum information to locations on earth via satellite with only minor modifications to existing technology.

Multiple arduous and costly endeavors have focused on developing new technology to achieve this goal, but this study, publish
